A clever, quirky picture-book biography of one of the most
important figures of modern and contemporary art Louise Bourgeois
was a world-famous artist who told stories of her life through her
art until she was 98 years old. She drew, wove, and sculpted pieces
inspired by her experiences, often using everyday objects that
reminded her of her family and her past. Her famous giant spiders
fascinate - and sometimes terrify - art-lovers to this day, but the
truth behind the inspiration for these towering sculptors is not as
scary as it may seem. This is an inspiring story about a young girl
who became the first female sculptor to have a solo exhibition at
the Museum of Modern Art in New York - a unique picture-book
celebration for children of one of the most important modern and
contemporary woman artists of our time. Ages 4 - 7
A clever, quirky, and highly entertaining biography of the leading
contemporary artist, Banks Banksy is a world-famous graffiti artist

around and hide, often creating a bit of a stir, just like he does!
Millions of people know his work but no one really knows who Bansky
is - his true identity is a secret. Fausto Gilberti brings life,
intrigue, and whimsy to the mysterious story of one of the most
important contemporary artists of our time. Ages 4-7

infinity of dots - just like in her paintings. Fausto Gilberti

and the first in a series of picture-book biographies of

Instead of sitting in front of an easel with brushes, he poured
paint over canvases rolled-out across the floor, moving, splashing,
and making the vivid liquid run with energy and rhythm. Pollock's
story is told here with wit and eccentricity, perfectly paired with
black-line illustrations - and splatters galore. Fausto Gilberti
brings movement, life, and whimsy to the true life story of one of
the most important contemporary artists of our time. Ages 4-7
